Re: lift actuator
Mines 2200 lbs. That's not required but it is where I found the deal.
I'd shop around. Here's one from Northern Tool. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...3243_200333243 I would think if the bed can hold 800 lbs you would want that??? |

Plus the leverage is reversed short stroke to long travel right? |

Re: lift actuator
I'm not sure how the rate the lift limits Dooms? But I'm guessin there would be some sort of equation that includes the angle and stroke??

Re: lift actuator
the link posted by fab does not look anything like the stock one on my carryall 272. It is a stock unit. I can also say that with me sitting in the front edge of the bed (about 260) it will not even move. I have seen another carryall with an electric over hydraulic set up. looked factory as well from a 96. that thing would dump a whole bed stacked with firewood with no problem. downside is that it had torn many of the welds apart under the bed from all the force.

Re: lift actuator
Here's mine ...The lift is from a john Deere gator..these lifts are way to pricey about 800.00 new and 3-4 hundred used on e-bay. I got lucky and got two of these off craigslist for 30.00 .....they have a 1200lb rating and about 7 inch's of travel.
The lifts from Northern look like a way better deal. Works greats....It's dumped every thing Ive had in the bed so far...rocks,boulders,wood,dirt,my 250lb kid.......: |
